About this title

From the Back Cover

With today’s schools increasing in diversity, Fifty Strategies for Teaching English Language Learners is an excellent resource for preservice teachers as well as for inservice teachers in their own linguistically diverse classrooms. With close alignment to the TESOL standards, the text offers a wealth of practical strategies in a clear, step-by-step procedural format, illustrated by scenarios showing their use in a classroom context. After a concise theoretical overview, the book provides strategies for enhancing student instruction through planning, supporting student involvement, building vocabulary and fluency, and building comprehension.
